I’m only halfway through the episode so I’m withholding mch commentary except to say it’s really jarring that it’s a Christmas episode.
Not sure why they didn’t run one more in December and only have two left now.
And can somebody explain the whole Super Bowl thing to me. Now my general position is any new House is a good House, but I thought the post Super Bowl slot was generally used to showcase an under-appreciated/exposed show.
I don’t see House fitting that category.

ABC changed the post-Super Bowl game last year by putting the solid ratings “Grey’s Anatomy” on after it. The show, of course, exploded afterward. Now I don’t think “House” can get much higher, but I think the goal is to make a ratings juggernaut that they can use to support a night. That said, since there are no new episodes in the can, any new momentum is going to be lost anyway.

Well from a marketing point of view I still don’t get it. Course it could be the didn’t have anything else to air then either and figured they might just as well air something good.
And based on the preview, the Frozen episode does look good.
As for this week’s episode, the mother-daughter didn’t do a lot for me (even though it was good to see Donna Moss again).
I did like the donkey show and Hugh Laurie singing was a treat.
I even think I could get to like the new team, especially 13 and the plastic surgeon, but it’s going to be hard with this year’s abbreviated season.
